The Paper Receipt Problem
What do you do with your receipts? Most of mine reside at the bottom of my tote until I get sick of digging through them to find my keys. Then, they go into the recycling bin.
Sometimes when I’m asked by the sales clerk, or cashier if I want my receipt, I say no. Then, I hope that they have a recycling bin and aren’t just adding the wasted paper to a landfill. How about you?
Sure, there are times that I’d like to reference my receipts. Yet, there’s no way that I have time to sort through and organize more little pieces of paper. If I had access to them online, I would have a look at them. Now that I think about it, that may be a reason to shop online despite being pro shopping local.

- Make it easy for them to follow you on social media by having links to your Facebook, Instagram, and more on the email receipt.
- Save money on receipt rolls, printers, and ink.
